Hautakammio Interview!

As i had said before i say it again in many cases Finland fucking rules!!

1. As i
understand you are quite newly formed? When,where & how did you all

meet up and started this musical violence?

Grim666:
Hautakammio was formed in 2012, as a kind of a continuum to my and Lima's
former band Lathspell. I had known R. from Malicious for some time, and he
decided to join along with Nagh, whose vocals I knew would suit Hautakammio's
sound very well. In spring 2013 Ruho joined as a second guitarist and I moved
to play bass, thus giving us ability to play live gigs.

2.Your
debut album "Kukaan Ei Opasta Teitä Pimeässä" got out into the cold
air

now in may through Darker Than Black Records,
how has the response been?

Grim666:
Actually we are still waiting for the release date, Darker Than Black promised
release in June, I trust we'll have the album on our hands by the end of the
month. So far there has been only positive feedback, and I expect no less.

3.can you
elaborate on what goal you had for the music and how did the whole

process from getting a complete horde to
undergoing all the pitch black creative

proceedings go?

Grim666:
Hautakammio is the representation of strength, nihilism, hate towards the
christian scum. Musically I wanted to create rapid, pitch black tunes while
keeping it simple. Soundwise we all decided on primitive, raw sound that
doesn't let you off easy. The recording process was quite simple, only few mics
on drums, mono guitars & bass. As I handled the recording and mixing
myself, it was a lot more relax situation for all of us. No restraining
schedules.

4. Did
you release some demo before this album?

Grim666:
"Kukaan Ei Opasta Teitä Pimeässä" is our first recording, it was
meant to be only a promo for labels but Darker Than Black saw that it would be
suitable for a debut album release.

5. If any
what earlier band affiliations do you all have?

Grim666:
As I mentioned earlier, R. has his magnificent death metal band Malicious. Nagh
plays drums for Seal OfBeleth, vox
& drums on Kalmankantaja, also played in Kuolo (r.i.p.). Lima's main bands
are Sawhill Sacrifice (HVNK KVLT!), Thaurorod, Amberian Dawn. Ruho has
Frogskin, Scarecrow, and played guitar for Lathspell. My current activities
include Oath, Kalmankantaja, Order Of The White Hand, Seal Of Beleth &
Scarecrow. I also handled bass & vocal duties in Lathspell.

6. Today
the 15 june you play a gig with ARSONIST LODGE...i guess when you read these

questions it is all over and done. How did
it go? Brutal? To much to drink?...or to little?

Grim666:
Still feeling last night's drinking in the back of my head! Indeed, this was
our first gig and we nailed it. No complaints, I think we managed to bring
forth the correct dark energy of Hautakammio's music. Arsonist Lodge are such
professionals dominating the stage with their punishing sound, just absolute
darkness. The whole night was pure alcohol induced worship! Hails to Risto
& arsonists!

7. Any
other gigs that you are booked for later this year?

Grim666:
Not yet, but there will be. Playing live is something that we need to do, the
ultimate expression of our art.

8.
Besides the sweet t-shirt is there any other merchandise in the making?

Grim666: not
at the moment. There was some preliminary talk about a vinyl version of the
album but that's left for the future to see.

9. Any
thoughts in doing a split with some of your finnish brothers?

Grim666:
We are recording a new song for a 4-way split including Hautakammio, Azaghal,
Sawhill Sacrifice & Oath. It will be a killer album, wait and see!
